Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion Available For Free From Humble Bundle
Stardock's Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion is currently available for free until November 18th from Humble Bundle. All you need to do is subscribe to the Humble Store Newsletter, at which point you can request a Steam key for what is considered one of the better space-based 4X grand strategy titles available. Although the title was originally released in 2012, Stardock has since further polished the game by optimizing the in-game graphics, removing the 2 GB RAM limit, adding larger worlds, better stability and improved mod support in an update back in April of 2017. All these changes made what I would consider a good game better, having played it quite a bit myself. That said if 4X strategy titles interest you give Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion a shot, after all, it is free so what do you have to lose?

I see the Steam version is just an ad for their newer games, but, meh, I'll still play it.
All recent Stardock games have the Stardock launcher that shows Ashes, Star Control, Sins, etc. Many folks have complained...I'm not really bothered by it at this point. Open launcher, click play, enjoy. :) Well Freespace 2 Open is probably the best you'll get at this point. I do gotta give the fans that keep modding the FS2 engine and updating FSO credit, I don't play it anymore but it was cool to be able to play vanilla and updated HD versions of the FS1 and FS2 campaigns, among all the others that exist. Though I don't play at 4K, so FSO works for me when I do play...for now. Admittedly I've been playing far more Void Destroyer 2 and Elite Dangerous the past couple years than I have the FS series. Maybe someone will do it tho... with all the remasters, this would be a good one to see be a successful one.
Sins is an RTS/4X though, Freespace is an arcade space shooter sim.
the GoG version, DRM free, is way better.
